Catching Up....

So the last few days have been a whirlwind! I have been filling in for a couple of the girls at work who are out on vacation...so that means I have been doing different hours/more days - and haven't had a chance to write! I am so thankful to be off tomorrow as the house also looks like a tornado has blown through!

So a funny story about BELLA before we get to Ella :) Last night I went downstairs to do a load of laundry in the unfinished part of our downstairs - Bella followed me in there (however I never saw her - they aren't allowed in the side) so I came back upstairs and a few minutes pass and I realize that Bella isn't around...I'm looking for her and Josh and I are both calling her name...then we realize that she must be downstairs - that she followed me in and I closed the door after I left! Sure enough...Josh went downstairs and opened the door and Bella came flying out! This has happened before! :)

So onto Ella - she is so fun! Right now she's really into "talking" to her friends...

She will sit in her swing and just talk away to her little friends...I have got to get it on video - so cute!!

Last night was our longest stretch yet for sleeping - 9.5 hours!!! Yay!!! :)

Ella's sitter told me yesterday - well I finally got a smile out of Ella - I was like she doesn't smile here?? That made me kind of sad - at home she smiles all the time! So I hope she isn't miserable at the sitters :(

Well tomorrow Ella and I have some fun things planned out...reading, singing songs, tummy-time...hopefully we'll get to take some fun pictures for you all! :)
